Hair dyeing and treatment tongs that emit supersonic energy

ABSTRACT

Hair dyeing and treatment tongs that emit supersonic energy, which comprise: an upper shaft and a lower shaft, wherein the supersonic circuit boards, transducer chips and guiding boards are all mounted in said upper and lower shafts. The supersonic circuit boards, the transducer chips and the guiding boards of the upper and lower shafts are connected with power lines via conducting wires, and one end of the upper shaft and the lower shaft are connected and pivot together. When the power is on, electricity is conducted to the transducer chip by virtue of the supersonic circuit board where it is converted to supersonic energy to be transferred to the guiding board and finally conducted to the user&#39;s hair. Meanwhile, hair color and hair conditioner can be applied to the user&#39;s hair, which achieves the functions of convenient use and saving space.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to hair tongs. More particularly, thepresent invention relates to a hair apparatus which is used for hairdyeing and treatment.

2. Description of Related Art

A conventional hair treatment apparatus, as shown in FIG. 8, comprises abase 50, a supporting stand 51, a helmet 52 and a reservoir 53, whereinthe reservoir 53 is filled with hair treatment conditioner (not shown).The user places the helmet 52 on his or her head, and the hair treatmentconditioner from the reservoir 53 is then spread on the user's hair byvirtue of the steam generated from the base 50. The aforesaid hairapparatus has some improvable defects, such as:

1. Large spatial requirements: due to the large size of the apparatus, alarge space is required for use.

2. Inconvenient use: to use the apparatus, the apparatus must first beproperly positioned and the helmet 52 must be placed on the head of theuser, after which the controls switch must be triggered. As such,operation is complicated and inconvenient.

3. Impossible self-operation: in order to use the apparatus, a user mustwear the helmet 52 and control the power switch. However, it isdifficult for a single person to simultaneously be the operator and userof the apparatus.

The present invention is intended to improve upon the above mentioneddrawbacks, including the spatial requirements, inconvenient use andimpossible self-operation.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The primary object of the present invention is to provide hair dyeingand treatment tongs having a supersonic function, which comprises: anupper shaft and a lower shaft with supersonic circuit boards, transducerchips, and guiding boards all installed on said upper and lower shafts.When the supersonic circuit boards conduct electricity and transferelectric energy to the transducer chips, the electric energy isconverted to supersonic energy that is conducted to the user's hair bythe guiding boards. In addition, the supersonic circuit boards and thetransducer chips of the upper and lower shafts are connected with powerlines via conducting wires. Meanwhile the one end of the upper shaft andthe lower shaft are connected and pivot together such that thesupersonic energy can be conducted to the user's hair once the electriccurrent is activated. At the same time, hair color and hair conditionercan be applied to the user's hair, which achieves the functions ofconvenient use and saving space.

Other objects, advantages and novel features of the invention willbecome more apparent in the following detailed description taken inconjunction with the accompanying diagrams.
